I haven't seen the movie but for those in BD vs. DVD debate, let me make it clear for those who aren't technical savvy.

Blu Ray has a protective coat on it that's pretty much insurance for your movie that unless it plainly breaks in half, you will always have your movie as where DVD, one little scratch and you're looking at money on cleaning the disc which could be up to a dollar up to five dollars on disc cleaning equipment. $1 - 5 worth upgrade to Blu ray.

Blu Ray has the best picture and sound possible, which insures your future TVs which all are now in HD, so if your normal TV breaks now, guess what kind of TV you're going to have to get? Depending on your view point, but to me; perfect picture and sound, that's a $3 - 5 worth upgrade to Blu Ray.

Most Blu Rays come with a digital copy, which you can give to a friend, family member or a really lame Xmas present but without the special features and some even come with an extra DVD, which DO have the special features. That in itself, is worth the film's value. $10 - 20 worth upgrade to Blu Ray.

Let's say on average a DVD is 13 bucks at Walmart and 20 on Blu Ray. The upgrade to Blu Ray is in value worth anywhere from $14 - 30 more.

As for an actual Blu Ray player, the cheapest one I've seen is a Magnavox at Walmart for only $79, which also plays AND upgrades your existing DVDs with the inferior Blu Ray discs. And as someone said before, the HDMI cable is very cheap these days.

Now, getting a PS3, which is 300 bucks at this point, would be the best thing to get, with a top of the line Blu Ray player inside, with the fastest loading time and easiest updates for your player, which some say would be valued at nearly 200 in itself. Plus the fact you have a gaming system that also has FREE internet browsing AND online gameplay.

People who aren't getting Blu Ray are really missing out.

As for this movie, wanted to see it in theaters so I'll maybe give it a rent.

as for the user "King". he's just a troll that goes around these boards tellling people that he still prefers VHS over any other format including DVD. I'm sure he's just bored and still being breast-fed by his mother.

Anyhow, the menus are better (especially the pop-up menus), the cases take up less room, you get BD-Live features on certain discs. Really though the improved picture quality alone should be enough, because at the end of the day you're using the discs to watch movies and the movies look much better in HD. The other features are cool, but that's just an added bonus.

Really, whether or not Blu-Ray is worth it depends entirely on the viewer. Some people will go out of their way to have a perfect viewing experience, or to have the film better represent the filmmakers' intentions. Some just want to watch the damn movie. Some are in-between, and some have other views. So, we don't need an argument about this.

Hey guys if you don't own a BD-Player for whatever reason and if you don't want to own one (?) that's fine. Still there is no reason for that immature Blu-ray bashing. If you you are happy with DVD's, fine. Still it doesn't change that BD's have a superior picture and (most of the times) sound quality compared to DVD's. If you really want to have that or need that is a completely different story but still it's a fact.

Wal Mart sells the new released blu rays almost all the time now for the same price as a standard dvd. And, if you catch a sell, you can get a blu ray player for 80 bucks and an hdmi cable for 5 on amazon.com

This "unrated cut only on Blu-ray" nonsense really has to stop. It's not making me upgrade to Blu-ray, it's just making me use torrent sites more, because I'm damned if I'm buying edited, cinema-friendly DVDs.

I like the movie but probably won't get it on DVD or Blu-Ray. As for the ending, I really liked it but no one I know seems to feel the same way. Everyone I know hated it because they wanted pure bloodshed.
